q MINISTER RESIGNS.

ST. PAUL. Dec. 2i-An evening paper
announces that Rev DR.. Samuel q. Smith,
of the First NJ f. church. of this city, has
sent Bishop Foss his resignation as its
pastor He is reported as saying in this
communication that he is unable to con-
tinue as a Methodist minister, because he
cannot work in harmony with the princi-
piles of Methodism as laid down by the
last conference. What is known as the
time limit is his great objection. Or.
Smith says he is not alone in mis- objection
to this principle of the Methodist church
government, but that he is i'll
dorsed, not only by, the min
listers of ST. Paul, but by the most
prominent Methodists throughout the
northwest. The statement has been made
that If Dr. Smith was 10 go the Park
street church a large number Of the old
members would 90 with him. To prevent
this Bishop Foss called upon those mem
bers yesterday to try and pursuade them
to promise To remain with the church. 1t
is said proposition has been made that
DR. Smith shall preach in the opera house

The Situation at Coronado


DENVER, March IA Wallace, Kan,
special to the Ne,cs says the situation of
the Coronado Leoti war remains I'M
changed. Both towns are surrounded by
a strong Gordon of armed men, who per-
nit no one to enter. The men in both
towns sleep with their guns, and after
gaining admission a stranger finds a Win
chester at every turn. They stand in the
doorways, and merchants bring their guns
to wait on customers. Men patrol the
streets of the city all day and night. The
country surrounding is as excited as the
towns and about as equally divided.
Coronado sympathizers are for the
most part in town with their guns
and ammunition. and a Coronado man
said to-day that within an hour 500 men
could be recruited in town ready to de-
fend it with their lives. At Leoti the cry
is for revenge. The citizens are as excit-
ed as they were on the day following the
shooting, and they are unanimous in their
determination to back Coronado at the
first opportunity. This will probably be
offered Thursday next, when the county
election occurs.
